In fact, the Death is the one who cheats !!! :)
The visioners got their visions unconsciously/unintentionally, so I think there are no cheating there. To act based on the visions, is a survival instinct, one of the most natural things of all.
Does the Death thinks, that the visioners accept their fate gracefully despite of the visions they've got UNINTENTIONALLY from unknown outer source? If it does, then Death suggests the one of the most unnatural things, and for me, that's cheating :)
